International Marketing Assistance
As announced by the Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages on September 22, 2009, the Book Publishing Industry Development Program (BPIDP) has been streamlined and renamed the Canada Book Fund (CBF). By making this change, the Department of Canadian Heritage wishes to signal a shift in its focus from developing the industry to providing support to a mature industry that will help bring Canadian books to readers.
BPIDP Web pages will be archived here for one year to facilitate the transition. For information about the Canada Book Fund, please visit: http://www.canadianheritage.gc.ca/book/.
Publishers receiving funding from Aid to Publishers in the previous year may be eligible for additional support for their export sales, including funding, promotional and logistical assistance, and market intelligence.
